This was after walking 4 miles in the woods, dragging a generator, lost, looking for a waterfall that they never found. Extremely impressive ❤

Ah yes! The infamous "Does Mitch Even Breathe?" video. This is one of my favorites of theirs.

Mitch and Avi voice always mixed very well together

Its so BRIGHT!!!

My favorite version of this song!!! It is always fun trying to see people try to figure out when Mitch breathes! A lot going on in this version.

Synergy is what gives PTX songs such high impact. They have a way of pairing up their voices so that the sound resonates even more and fools our brains into thinking there must be a choir behind them. It's the sonic version of standing in a hall of mirrors. I always say, talent can only get you so far in life. You also need the skills, training and good judgement to turn your talent into something. These guys are talented, but they're also well educated and disciplined in musical technique. And when it comes to the arrangements they have good taste and sensitivity, and a refreshing lack of ego. They strive to make the song itself the star of the show.

An absolutely brilliant description of who Pentatonix are, what they do, and how they do it.

This was off their very first Christmas EP. There were six songs. Each member and Ben Bram chose a song to do and this was Mitch's pick. People say this was close to, if not exactly, in the madrigal style... the layers of singing you're referring to. I'm not a musician and cannot tell you what would make it more or less a madrigal 🤷🏻‍♀️ but that's basically what they were doing.

Can we talk about Mitches breath control

It’s insane 🔥

I love it. It's so intricate and full...yet there's only five people! I think it was this one ( if not, it was White Winter Hymnal) where they went hiking to where they thought a waterfall was, lugging a generator and equipment, couldn't find the waterfall, got tired of hefting all the stuff thru the woods so settled in some nice scenery, dug a hole for Scott to stand in ( cuz he's quite a bit taller than Avi) and got on with the filming. Thanks for this, Sean. Hope you have a wonderful holiday season!!

Haha not surprised!

This is where Mitch breathes thru his pores apparently! There was a live version last year from Christmas Under The Stars, but the video got taken down. You can see it on other reactors channels like Tea Time With Travis or Patrol Gaming (it's worth it) Thanks for the reaction & Merry Christmas!

Breathe, Mitch, breathe!

Vibrant, you said. That’s the best word yet to describe their Christmas catalogue. What continues to amaze me is that whenever they harmonize or layer or whatever, you can still pick out the individual voices and follow what that singer is doing. I find that so rarely in music where more than one or two singers are singing. You can always pick Mitch’s voice out, and Avi’s or Matt’s, and the same with Kirstin and Scott. And Kevin, when he’s not busy beatboxing. So individual yet always together. It’s fascinating. I always love your reactions, well done. Merry Christmas and peace from Ohio …

This is performed in choral Madrigal style! Massive choir nerds that they are! Listen to a recent live performance of this from their current Christmas concert! 💖

I enjoyed your reaction to this beautiful Pentatonix video. Thank you. I listen to Pentatonix music, including Christmas music, all year round. There has only been one member change in their 11-year history. Avi, original bass, left the band for personal and family reasons in 2017. The fast pace of tour, recording, appearances, etc became too much for Avi and his mother was diagnosed with cancer and he could not be with her as much as he wanted. He also missed being able to escape into nature. Matt has been their bass since October 2017.

I also prefer Pentatonix Christmas music personally, over other Christmas music. This one is beautifully mind boggling to me, listening to all the runs and layering that each member is performing especially at the speed of this particular song. Thank you for another great reaction, look forward to the next.

This is a very early PTX Christmas video. It's solid proof that Mitch is an alien because he doesn't breathe during this song! I'd like to request PTX When the Party's Over for January 1st. I've been vibing on that lately and it's perfect for the end of the holiday season. It's one of their written during covid. Thanks, Sean.

PTX for me IS Christmas! This song I often wonder…when does Mitch breathe!!!! Thank you for your PTX Christmas reactions! I am truly enjoying them. If it’s not too late, I would love to suggest God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen…it’s FANTASTIC! Merry Christmas!

Please try The first Noel

Even though Avi comes on strong, just concentrating on what Kirstie is doing makes one realize just how important her role is.

One of my favorite moments come at 3:24. They've been switching between a major and a minor key, and at this point it's Kirstie's note that makes the modulation to a minor key. It's the last thing she sings--she and Kevin drop out there and the rest is all counterpoint from Mitch, Avi, and Scott. Kirstin's last note is key (pun intended).

Great analysis of the song, but FYI...this was done nearly 10 YEARS AGO !!

Hearing this live is insane! I was blessed enough to see them in concert a few weeks ago and they did this song. This song has been one of my favorites since the girls' ensemble I was in during middle school sang it (around the time the trio was being born, so not their arrangement, obviously, lol!).

I have watched this older video many times and still cannot see when Mitch breathes!

Hey Sean, Merry Christmas! LOVE your reactions to Pentatonix. Before I discovered PTX, I didn't really have a _favorite_ group. I mean, there are so many great groups and genres to choose from, singling one out just didn't make sense to me. Until I discovered them. You're right--individually they are amazing but when you bring them all together, it's like they turn into the Justice League or something. They _epitomize_ the definition of synergy--the perfect example of the sum greater than the parts. Separately, they're Mitch, Scott, Kirstin, Kevin and Avi (or Matt). But when they combine and do what they are passionate about, what they worked hard for, what they were BORN to do... they *become* Pentatonix. And this is the result. Absolute perfection.

Your face was perfect at the end! 😁 I hope you get to their new album where they did some originals and some cover collabs with prominent artists from other countries using popular Christmas songs and adding that country’s styles and even language. It’s a brilliant group of songs. They did use instruments in some of the songs when needed for a particular depth or quality of sound.

Great reaction as always. Hope you had a great Christmas Sean

Sounds like you just became a pentaholic. 😊

If you're not familiar with or only know who Johann Sebastian Bach was, this arrangement is very much a fugue in the style of Bach. Listen to his Toccata and Fugue in d minor. You'll recognize the beginning, but many don't go beyond the first thirty seconds. Somewhere around two and a half minutes in (depending on the tempo used), the fugue starts. When you hear that you'll understand what I mean. To put it in basic terms, and without insulting your intelligence, "Row, Row, Row Your Boat," is a fugue in the most basic sense. That's your classical music theory lesson for today. 😂
